With the delirious logic of a lucid dream or a psychedelic vision, Vaporents explores the speculative navigational resources required of digital natives immersed in the hypercontextual virtualities of a post-continuous present. The transversal experience of negotiating the dynamic gamespaces of post-digital culture demands a user-erotics of speculation, simulation, puzzle-solving, ceaseless intuition of occult algorithms… All of which perpetually re-orient and re-calibrate the human mind and body to tempestuous techno-environmental conditions and moistmedia-ecologies. From the mannerisms of intimacy that bind and connect us, to the subsequent capacity to dream, design, and enter into projects of collective rationality through digitally altered states.
